I was always uncomfortable with the term 'learner' because it felt imposed by practitioners. Sometimes we get carried away with our well-meaning PC labels. When I worked at a community-based agency in Providence, we did ask. The students wanted to be called 'students'...they said we don't say 'college learner' or 'high school learner', why would we say 'adult education learner". Judy Titzel Providence, RI
